Abstract excerpt
The cosegregation of renin alleles and blood pressure was evaluated in segregating populations derived from inbred Dahl salt hypertension sensitive (S) and inbred Dahl salt hypertension resistant (R) rats. The populations were raised on high salt diet (8% NaCl). In F2 and F1 X S populations, there was a significant positive gene-dosage relationship between the S-rat renin allele and blood pressure. In contrast,...
